	Shadow Health Minister Julia Gillard
		Julia Gillard: What changes with the FTA is, for the first time ever, someone who is intending to manufacture a cheaper generic drug is required to give the patent holder, the drug company that holds the patent, notice.
		Julia Gillard: Well, it's not for me to say what political donations Labor will or won't take, but can I say, I think people will judge Labor on its conduct, and on its conduct, we are the party standing up for the PBS and standing up for people's ability to get cheaper generic medications.
		Julia Gillard: Well, you would remember, Mark, that what the government was engaged in was the stupidest of cheap political stunts at the end of the last parliamentary session.

	Julia Gillard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Julia Eileen Gillard (born 29 September 1961) is an Australian politician, and has been an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives since October 1998, representing the Division of Lalor, Victoria.
		Gillard was elected to the House of Representatives at the 1998 election as member for the Division of Lalor.
		Gillard has been touted as a potential future leader of the party for some years, but until 2005, had stayed out of previous leadership contests due to her absolute support for former leaders Simon Crean and Mark Latham.

		JULIA GILLARD: Well, what we've said is that at the next election we always offer the health policies that are best for the times.
		JULIA GILLARD: We've got to recognise the Medicare levy is only a small, a relatively small stream of funding for health these days.
		JULIA GILLARD: Look, this was recognition that we did need to address the circumstances of MPs who came into the last Parliament.

		JULIA GILLARD: Look, I've been contacted by IVF specialists, doctors who work on IVF procedures who say those statistics from the Health Department aren't right and that many women take more than three cycles to conceive and they are very concerned about the impact of this potential cutback on their patients.
		JULIA GILLARD: I think the ACCC has said that there's some evidence that the number of doctors being trained and the way in which overseas credentials are examined isn't as transparent and clear as it should be.
		JULIA GILLARD: It's not a question of business first, it's a question of Australia's national interest first and you've got to make that judgment call on balance after you've seen what's on offer and what can be negotiated through the free trade agreement process.

		In a party where every female MP is expected to be a Feeder or a Breeder, Gillard's greatest liability is not, as you would expect, her age, her level of experience, or the fact that she's female, but her non-kid-incubatin' womb, which has been more barren than the Kalharri for quite some time.
		Gillard is intelligent, competent and in possession of a wit you could grate diamonds on.
		Julia Gillard's position in the party should reflect her work, her experience and even (I think) her likeability.

		Gillard is the only choice for a true beleiver like me. Rudd must be deputy and shadow treasurer because he could run rings around the government on their greatest (and only) asset of economic prowess.
		No matter what the journos try to say, the fact is Julia Gillard has deep character flaws and has a unattractive persona, comes of as rude condacending and arrogant with a screeching voice and it is highly unlikely she will be elected as PM of Australia.
		Gillard is no stranger to factionalism or the thrust of politics and it has not dampened her ability to be loyal, forthright or show compassion.

	Welcome to Tony Kevin's Home Page
		Gillard’s critique of factionalism was, with ruthless irony, very quickly turned against her, in efforts to demonize her and write her off as a potential future Labor leader.
		Ms Maiden went on in similar vein: “Ms Gillard has previously come under attack for her failure to have children and the austerity of her kitchen, after it was photographed by a newspaper without fruit in the fruit bowl”.
		Gillard is tough and resilient, and it is too early to write her off as a future Labor leader.

	Interview: Julia Gillard
		JULIA GILLARD: Well I think when we're looking at those sorts of things, obviously there's a public knowledge factor I guess, the nature of modern campaigning tends to be the focus on the leaders, and that's a good thing.
		JULIA GILLARD: Well, the $350 million pool of funds that is designated in the package to help with a series of things to support public hospitals, including capital and equipment, also has as one of its goals improving what's called access block.
		JULIA GILLARD: That was obviously a comment from the debate, when the private health insurance rebate was first debated in the Federal Parliament.

	THE OTHER CHEEK // The Whole Story // Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom: Monday, September 26, 2005
		Gillard is part of a small but very well represented grouping known as the Ferguson Left.
		So with her Canberra helmet on, Julia doesn't mind the Deadwood, they all voted for Mark Latham you see and could be delivered again to her column in a caucus contest.
		But with her Melbourne helmet on, GIllard's faction kinda needs to go along to preserve its privileged status as the pampered indulged recipient of a grossly disproportionate number of seats in Canberra.

		Applauding Ms Gillard's policy proposals in Melbourne, two nurses took to the microphones to spruik for the 44-year-old as a Labor PM.
		Ms Gillard received thunderous applause from the nurses but when questioned by the media later, she remained loyal to her leader.

	Julia Gillard positions herself as ideological leader of a new
		Julia Gillard’s address to the lower ranks of the big end of town, who attend such lectures, was a brilliant tour de force in its way.
		Gillard is clearly conscious that she has an audience across the spectrum from the right to the left, and even to people like me, who up to last night were ambiguous about her.
		The core of this implicit appeal by Gillard to the media and the establishment is her reactionary proposal, opposed to the democratic Labor tradition, to give the Labor parliamentary leadership (she’s clearly thinking of herself here) the same Bonapartist powers that traditionally accrue to conservative leaderships.

	Gillard says Medicare Gold dropped - Breaking News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Labor health spokeswoman Julia Gillard said Labor would make decisions on a new policy closer to the next election once the federal budget position was known and once the Andrew Podger review of health services had been released.
		Ms Gillard said Labor's internal research suggested voters regarded it as a positive, although it could never be known just why people voted the way they did.
		Ms Gillard said it was not a question of whether Medicare Gold was popular or unpopular.

		For those unfamiliar with Australian politics, Julia Gillard is a Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives, and is the current Shadow Minister for Health.

		GILLARD: Look, I think that there's a level of this which is rational and then a level of it which is used for political advantage.
		GILLARD: Well, the real issue about population policy, it seems to me, all of the forward projections tell us that if we just allow natural trends to develop, we'll end up as a twenty-five million society, on the decline in terms of numbers and in five sprawling cities.

	Gillard wary on aspirations - Opinion - smh.com.au
		So Julia Gillard, one of the party's high flyers, was cautious when asked on the Seven Network's Sunrise program about her leadership ambitions after being backed by Cheryl Kernot to be Australia's first woman prime minister.
		She gave the obligatory brush-off to personal ambition: "I have always been deeply suspicious of politicians who wander around this world thinking it is all about 'me and my career'." But she admitted that after 10 years of a Beazley Labor government she might put her hand up to be leader.
		When Gillard was lobbying to be Opposition Treasury spokeswoman, her qualifications for the job were questioned by some in the media, she said, even though they were the same as those of the Treasurer, Peter Costello.

		In 2004, press commentators noted Gillard had majored in economics in her combined arts-law course and had been invited to do an honours degree in the subject.
		Gillard's promotion to the deputy leadership and new responsibilities can perhaps best be understood as the best way of escaping from a portfolio where old blunders and more recent faux pas continually put her ability and judgment under the spotlight.

		The election of Julia Gillard as deputy leader of the Labor Party brought back unhappy memories of giving evidence in 2000 to a House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Workplace Relations of which she was a member.
		I tried to explain that much of the discrepancy in male/female career outcomes and earnings are due to women's choices and the fact that women have babies and take time off from jobs to raise children.
		But Julia would have none of this - nor my explanation that the differential in male/female incomes was not so significant when one considers that males share their standard of living with their wives/partners/children and are not enjoying their "ill-gotten gains" in isolated splendour.
